GAMEDEV Irkutsk region. Seriously?
In the preface, I would like to warn readers that this material is an attempt to summarize the experience of teams involved in developing games in this region, the reasons for their appearance, as well as the desire to introduce the STOPGAME audience to potentially interesting projects that are at the production stage. The choice fell on the fourth largest subject of the Russian Federation, of course, not by chance. The author is a resident of this region and it would be fair, first of all to the guys living next to me, to highlight their activities first of all. Where do specialists come from?? “Probably like the rest of…

A simple story about rock climbing and a guinea pig.
Hi all! Not long ago I read a book by a fairly famous online publicist Slava Se and really wanted to try to write something in the same style. And on my beloved Stopgame there is a community about literature, that’s how lucky it was! Sorry for being off topic again on this portal. But I’m really trying to hold back! I no longer wrote to you about sexism in physics, the film “Panfilov’s 28” and the Russian weapons museum in Tula. I hope a little story from personal experience will not hurt you here. As always, I look forward to your feedback, advice and comments ^_^ So, a simple…

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden: Review of the new game by the authors of Life is Strange
Already on February 12 (and the 13th on consoles) Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is coming out from the French studio DON’T NOD. And I’ll say right away – this is her best game since Life is Strange . During the passage, I remembered either The Witcher 3, then God of War 2018, then The Last of Us Part II, forgot about food, tirelessly took screenshots and constantly tried to come to terms with my own conscience. Exorcists IN Banishers The French are trying a new setting for themselves. This is not modernity, as in the duology Life is Strange, not the future, as in Remember Me, and not Victorian…

Kingdom Come: Deliverance: Review
Studio Warhorse released one of the most ambitious works of recent years – a medieval immersive sim, thought out from historical to everyday details. Thanks to experts, it was possible to recreate the kingdom of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) at the beginning of the 15th century: castles, hunting grounds, camps for charcoal burners and lumberjacks, and even tanneries where men process hides in buckets of urine. On the other side, Kingdom Come saddles the player with a bunch of everyday, not to say physiological, worries. Such a craving for realism always causes skepticism among the public, so it’s time to find out whether the authors managed to achieve their…

Delta Force: Angel Falls: Preview
Tell now the full story of the famous “pseudo-tactical” series Delta Force would be the same thankless and tedious task as listening to the enthusiastic speeches of your close friend, full of romance and idiocy, who, after a long and languid search, found his true love. After all, if you have been the proud owner of a personal computer for at least eight years, then the magical phrase “Delta Force” should mean, if not everything, then a lot to you. At one time, the games released under this title were the first and almost working prototypes of tactical action games. This reservation was made for a reason. For all their…

I need help from game industry experts
Dear comrades, help me understand this. In childhood, when not everyone had a computer, and the Internet was the height of dreams, there was one game. You were given fluffy buns, the goal was to bring them to a nest with something like a spinning light bulb, each color to color. they only rolled straight in the direction in which the player kicked them, but then all sorts of arrows, tunnels, explosives, etc. appeared.d. I remember the levels beach, basement, garden, jungle, city, north pole, space station. And the developers’ logo is a black cat jumping towards a red ball. Mother claims the game was called Tweenie. If it’s not…

Looking at the night: opinion about the game Evil Genius
Evil Genius breaks the boundaries of conventional strategies. Here we will not defend our kingdom/city/village, there will be no farms or factories. The goal of the game is simply to take over the world. Modest Ambitions. A word about the atmosphere of the gameThe game takes place in the 50-60s, and therefore everything is arranged in accordance with the time: a secret base, spies, a casino, a laboratory – everything brings us back to the great Bond movie from the moment of its inception. The music in the game is, I would say, masterpiece. It allows you to immerse yourself in the game completely and won’t let go for a…

Avengers on DVD with goodies!
Recently, while surfing the Internet, I was looking for when The Avengers would be released on DVD.Found it, but not the date. I found this (copy-paste):More recently, director Joss Whedon, who was involved in filming the film “The Avengers,” informed his viewers that this film will be released on DVD in a slightly longer format. According to the director, the film will be a full 30 minutes longer on DVD than the version shown in theaters. In the cinema the film will run about 140 minutes, and on DVD it will be as much as 3 hours. Joss Whedon cut some scenes from the theatrical version because he felt that…

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag: Video Review
For your attention – an atypical video review. Having carefully written and decisively deleted three versions of the text, I changed my mind about making a traditional pretentious video and hummed impromptu with all my heart. The whole truth about the “Black Flag” – chaotic and inconsistent, but for real. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Best comments I love the Assassins Creed series from the first part. I loved it because it had an interesting idea. Although there were some good games after the first part, they lacked what was in the first Assassins Creed. I’m generally silent about the 3rd. I really didn’t like her. Ubisoft are just magicians,…

8 CRAZY SKYRIM MODS
Even though Skyrim was released back in 2011, the gaming world (the PC community in particular) still can’t get enough of the realm of Tamriel.

But sometimes people want to take a break from the seriousness of the world and have some fun. That’s why they made a bunch of mods that are completely insane. And here are the 8 best crazy mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. 1 mod. Really Useful Dragons This mod was made by user FancyPantz. It is…
